County W. @. 7. U. Meeting.


county w. {. L. U. was held Feb.
18th at the residence of the county
President. The attendance was not
very large but the faithful few were
full of earnest endeavor, and the
opening exercises of Scripture read
ing and prayer, prepared the way
for solid work. The amendment
campaign was first considered and
freely discussed, resulting in the
adoption of the following resolu-
tons:
Whereas, we believe that the co
operation Of tho ministry is necessary
to the advancement of the temper
ance cause and especially the amend
ment conflict,
Therefore, resolved that we urge
every w. O. Il. u. member to request
their pastors to take the platform
and cooperate with others in secur-
ing speakers from abroad.
Whereas, we recognize the need
of funds to carry on the present
campaign,
Therefore, resolved, that we urge
every member in Gratiot Co. to com
ply Immediately, with the plea from
our State and Dist. president, TO
donate or raise 81 as an amendment
fund; also that w. G. T. L. mem
bers avail themselves of public meet
ings to add to said fund.
Resolved that the people need in
struction as to the meaning end
need of the prohibitory amendment
and would recommend the liberal
distribution of temperance literature
especially our State paper, The
Center"
We learn, with sorrow, that Cal
ented men are opposing the measure.
Let us in the strength of our Master,
who has chosen the weak things of
this world to confound the mighty,
90 forth in our weakness 60 arouse,
instruct and encourage our husbands,
fathers, brothers, sons and neighbOrs
90 vote right and thus gain the Wet
DRY.
Resolved, that we feel our weak
ness and the need of help and ex-
oeedingly regret the apparent lack
of interest in the Christian Won
an of the county.
Then followed quite a spirited
discussion as to what the prizes
should be that had been offered to
the schools.
Mrs. A. WhitcoIne moved that the
prize for the best essay on alcohol
should be cabinet picture of Miss
Frances Willard; for the largest
number Of articles on tobacco the
prize to be q small temperance book.
The motion prevailed.
The annual County Convention
should come in March next in view
of the large amount of work neces-
sarv at this time. 1t was considered
advisable to place the call for the
convention at the discretion of the
executive committee. Moved and
carried that a report of the meeting
be sent to the Center" and county
papers for publication. a letter
from Mrs. S. J. Boyle, of Fulton,
was read. She says "of course we
will work for the amendment"
